Chapter 18: The Forgotten Nightmare
After a while, there was a sound from the next room that made people blush and heartbeat, but Wen Changwu's attention was only focused on those three words.
War Princess?! In the whole Dawang, there is only one war princess! It's his most beloved mother! His eyes turned red instantly, he didn't allow others to insult his mother like this!
He turned his head to look at his master, trying to find out where the room was, but his master gently groped for the wall, hiding the mechanism.
"Wouldn't it be strange to you, apprentice, that you don't have any memories before you were 7 years old?" A hoarse voice rang out.
"Master, how do you know?" Wen Changwu was surprised.
After his seventh birthday, he felt as if something was wrong with him, and he couldn't remember how many things had happened.
Fortunately, he has a good habit of transcribing his study notes in the codex every day, and at the same time he will write down the interesting things that happened that day.
Originally, it was to make himself remember the knowledge more vividly, but he didn't expect to leave a way back for his amnesia, at that time he had just worshiped the master, although the master was mysterious and his face was terrifying, but he was very good to himself, and he also taught himself a lot of different knowledge and kung fu, but the master was very strict and required to learn efficiently.
That day, he completely recited the internal strength and mental method mantra required by the master to barely escape a level, if the master knew that he had lost his memory, he would think that he was difficult to carve, and he would not be a disciple.
It's just that at that time, he always felt that there was something most important that he had forgotten, but when did the secret of amnesia be discovered by the master?
looked at Wen Changwu with pity: "Apprentice, your memory is sealed for you by the teacher, when you were seven years old, on the day of your mother's birthday, you saw the unbearable picture of ordinary people, in order to prevent you from being haunted by nightmares every night, I made this decision, I originally wanted you to live carefree until the age of fifteen and then restore your memory for you, but what you said a few days ago made the teacher feel that he was wrong, that memory may be your nightmare, but if you lose it, you will definitely lose your will!" ”
"So today, the teacher must unlock the memory seal for you! Even if you complain about being a teacher in the future, you have no regrets! ”
Wen Changwu looked at the master very suspiciously, sat cross-legged on the bed according to the master's instructions, pinched the trick in his hand, and meditated quietly.
His master looked at his kung fu, his eyes were full of regret, and after the fingers of his right hand drew a word like "wind" in the air, a strange pale pink flame appeared on his fingertips, his face tightened, and a stream of blood spurted out of his mouth, and all the blood fell on the pink flame, and the blood did not extinguish it, but made it more vigorous, and the color also turned crimson!
Without waiting, he flicked it hard, and the flame split into two clusters, falling straight on Wen Changwu's Fengchi acupoint, and disappeared the moment the solution touched the tip of his hair!
But Wen Changwu was in pain, and beads of sweat flowed down his forehead little by little.
Every year, the most lively day in the War King's Mansion is August 16, because this day is the birthday of the most noble woman in the War King's Mansion, every time there will be lights, and every servant can receive a reward of money on that day, but August 16 of the year when Wen Changwu was seven years old is very different from the past.
In order to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival and also to show the joy of the housewarming of the beauties, the emperor invited the ministers, which was called the "hundred-round banquet" in history.
It is on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, invite 100 officials and family members into the palace to participate in the luncheon, of course, the family members here only include the wife of the main house and the children of the concubine, and the criteria for selection is not the official position but whether the family is neatly reunited.
Wen Changwu has been weak and sick since he was a child, and he had a high fever in those two days, to the point that he couldn't get out of bed.
However, the meaning of its existence in the War King's Mansion is to highlight the emperor's grace, so the emperor made an exception to let the war king and his wife enter the palace.
Although the husband and wife can not rest assured that they can not have children, but they have no choice but to enter the palace, at that time Wen Changwu was no longer an ordinary child, two years ago a man in black gave him a set of internal skills, he more or less practiced one or two, with kung fu, he had a fever, hidden in the carriage to put sundries in the dark grid and followed his parents into the palace.
The carriage stopped and stopped, his illness came and went, and after a while, he burned again, and when he woke up, the carriage had been parked in a place where no one was, and there was silence all around, and he actually slept until night, I don't know why, he always felt that the scenery here was very familiar, and he was sure that this was the palace!
Although he couldn't even find the person who asked for directions, he had a big idea, and when he saw the tallest building nearby, he decided that it must be Chenghuan Tower!
Chenghuan Lou is in the northwest corner of the palace, carrying light work, but it didn't take long, the door of the building for the sake of celebration, hung two red lanterns, but there was no one on duty around.
He entered the door, the first floor of the room full of wealth and wealth sparked Wen Changwu's eyes, all kinds of precious coral trees and jade bonsai are countless, along the handrail inlaid with night pearls of the stairs to the second floor, is the first floor of gorgeous clothes, the summer, autumn and winter four seasons of the shirt and coat neatly arranged in eight columns, each piece of clothing on the cuffs are embroidered with the words "Chenghuan Lou".
went up another staircase, but found that the layer was gloomy and dark, without any candle lighting, Wen Changwu was furious, but he was still curious to look around, there were no stairs on this floor?
This discovery surprised him, obviously this Chenghuan Building from the outside, let alone six floors, why is there no road on the third floor?
With doubts, he looked around carefully, and sure enough, he found the clue, the wall opposite the door was not flat! Rather, it is made up of steps, and one wall is built into a staircase.
Knowing that he might be a peeking child, Wen Changwu walked up gently, not daring to make a single movement, and when he walked to the top was a deep corridor, he didn't know where it led, compared to the outside, this corridor was even darker, and he began to hesitate whether he wanted to move on.
At this moment, he heard a few women's cries begging for mercy, and the practice of martial arts made him deaf and clear, and there was his mother's voice among them!
Although I can't really hear it, occasionally there will be a man's roar, I'm afraid this Chenghuan Lou is not a thief?!
He didn't have time to think too much, he hurriedly rushed to the depths of the corridor, the deeper he walked, the louder the cry, and the more panicked his heart became, and finally, he came to the innermost part, the door was half-hidden, and the lights were bright.
Wen Changwu leaned on the crack in the door and looked inside, as if he had been struck by lightning.
In the open space in the house, three naked women were surrounded by seven or eight strong men, they were hung in the air, crying weakly but unable to get rid of the men's clamps, among them, her mother!
On the high platform not far away, my father was drinking with the emperor!
No, it's not! His father was not sitting there, but was tied and kneeling beside Emperor De, he couldn't see the expression on his father's face clearly, but he could hear Emperor De's deliberately raised voice: "King of War, don't blame me, this is what your Wen family owes to be lonely!" And I also mercifully invite you to enjoy the show, hahahahaha, the former queen, the former princess, the princess of war, I'm afraid that the green buildings within the four seas can't gather such a luxurious lineup! It's really worthy of the name of Chenghuan Building! Joyfully! Joyfully! ”
A naked man in the clearing suddenly knelt down: "Your Majesty, the princess of war has fainted." ”
"Heh, a princess is even more delicate than the queen princess, and only now do I know that the bitter cold land here is more nourishing, and she will be woken up with water!" Emperor De said sternly.
"Leng Yan, when you and your brothers get tired of it, let the prisoners upstairs change your class." At this time, Emperor De put on the mask of Renjun again.
"Your Majesty is benevolent, and the slave is grateful to the lord Longen!" The man in the audience replied loudly.
Maybe it was the heart between mother and son, when Princess Zhan opened her eyes again, her eyes met the door, as if she saw a small Wen Changwu, and her originally godless and empty eyes were suddenly full of panic and pleading.
He didn't know why his mother wanted him to go, why didn't he let himself go in to save her! Tears filled his eyes, and he was about to break into the door when he raised his legs, when suddenly, his waist was numb, and he lost consciousness.
Wen Changwu woke up again, his clothes were all soaked with sweat, and his face was as red as a tomato that was about to rot.
He looked at the master sitting at the head of the bed and remembered everything.
Master didn't recognize him when he was seven years old, he had this master since he was five years old, and he only appeared in front of him every seven days, but it was only in the summer when he was seven years old that the master found his study codex, and he casually said that he could record what was happening around him, and he recorded things about the master.
It turned out that the master didn't think that his words and deeds were different that day, but wondered why he remembered the past!
He recalled the memory of that shame, and also regained his hatred for Emperor Dedi!
In the past, he always felt that the master was forcing himself, but on that night five years ago, he obviously knelt on the ground and begged him!
finally understood why every time his mother entered the palace, he felt uneasy and afraid, understood why the Zhanwang Mansion had never celebrated his mother's birthday since that year, and understood why his mother trembled in the face of coldness!
Why, why endure such cruel and unjustified things!
"It's for you to live well." A hoarse voice sounded abruptly.
"Apprentice, there are some things that are not yet told to you, you just need to do your best, and when the time is ripe, the teacher will definitely tell you all the truth, but now, you must be patient, don't live up to the painstaking efforts of your father and mother!"
He clenched his fists and said to Master, "Master, you said before that if you dispose of Leng Yan at will, does it still count?" ”
The man sighed, touched his head, and instead of answering, he pushed hard against the third wall, which turned out to be a secret door that rotated!
followed the silent master in, inside was a gloomy cell, surrounded by all kinds of torture detentions, there was a person hanging in the innermost, his head drooped weakly, Wen Changwu opened the long hair in front of him under the master's signal, this person is cold and strict!
